Will cost $25.000 but you can also pay in 12.400 eggs

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s pretty optimistic, assuming the price of eggs will go down. /s

[–] beastlykings@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

/s is understood.

But on a serious note, eggs have come down around me in Michigan. The cheap eggs are around $5 a dozen, which to be clear is still ridiculous. But it beats the $7-8 it was

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

$25 is almost a steal (because in English we use the decimal point . as our decimal separator).

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's gonna be 5 eggs and even then it would be overpaying.

They finally figured out how to make the battery replacable.

Nah, that case would be glued together so tight you'd have to destroy it to get it open.

[–] nilclass@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

With a modern lithium battery that size, this would hold the charge for a lifetime

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 year ago

Unless HP makes the battery.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

and it would give your arms a workout.

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

where they getting American lithium?

Two tin cans and a length of string, but the cans are Heinz

Well, at least they are building the new phone from recycled materials....

The horrific thing is that with rate that mobile phone sports betting is ripping through the U.S. this would save a lot of people's lives.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some years ago i was kind of shocked that gambling was pretty illegal in america. Then i thought the whole las vegas thing makes sense. Then they legalized sports gambling and online casinos a few years ago and americans just burn through 100s of billions of dollars a year ever since. That is fucking horrific

Wait until you learn how the US education system is propped up by lottery 'earnings'

Ey, that's a good ad campaign "Apple saves lives"

[–] PostaL@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Probably even the brick from the picture is made in china.

iPhone 17 will be more like two paper cups with a string

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

You bet that Apple manages to make even that hard to repair.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Can it play snake?

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

it commands respect, no one is going to mess with you when your phone is a literal brick that can be thrown through someone's window or break someones jaw

Emits so much radiation that it will give you brain cancer.

I actually knew a traveling salesman in the 90s who used one of these. He was on it literally all day every day because his company was paying for it. He was in industrial sales for a mining company and they really didn't care how much any of it cost. So he would make his business calls as well as personal calls just for anything with anyone. He used to brag all the time that he was on a long distance call and talk for an hour.

In about 2005 he was diagnosed with cancer and they found a brain tumor on the right side of his head .... the same side he held the phone all the time.

The only thing they could determine was his phone use ..... and the fact that he most likely overused the thing.

[–] brisk@aussie.zone 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Mobile phone radiation is non-ionising. There is no known mechanism for it giving you cancer. Regardless of mechanism there's ample research on the topic, and no sign of a link

Whatever happened to Jill Stein anyway?

[–] Caffeinated_Sloth@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

She’s still working in the same career field: Pretend Presidential Candidate That Funnels Money Away From Local Races where Greens Could Actually Compete And Erode The Two Party Duopoly.

being silenced by a police state after speaking up against genocide.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is that the take now? I figured it would be her and RFK jr were having dinner at the Kremlin. How soon we forget.

[–] nsrxn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

she was arrested for protesting and is now facing trumped up charges related to the incident

you no what's crazy is Democrats lost that election too and they're not willing to do something that brave. where's Harris assaulting officers and resisting arrest for gaza?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

But was it the same in the 90ies?

[–] brisk@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Microwave ovens are also non-ionising. Non-ionising radiation can cause things to heat up, but lacks the subtle damage that ionising radiation can do.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

My bad, edited.

Hey now it may not have been the radiation, could've been some of the phones materials leaching into his skin and causing cancer. I used to work estate sales and I once found one of these phones in the back of a closet thing (it was about 6 inches wide) which had somehow liquifide, it looked like it was melting down over time. I have never seen a piece of plastic do that so I have no clue what the fuck caused that but I would not be surprised if the reason I have never seen that is cause the plastic caused cancer and was broadly banned.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 2 points 1 year ago

...that is the same theory behind Ted Kennedy's tumor, once he was able to use the phone all the time(cellular phone) he never stopped using it

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Look you have to thank Gene Roddenberry for this invention.
